Obama shoots, but doesn't score
Watch Obama play basketball with some UNC players.
(CNN) - Barack Obama is known for his strong basketball skills, but the Illinois senator proved no match for the UNC Tar Heels Tuesday.
Obama practiced with the team for several minutes Tuesday morning, often struggling to keep pace with the Final Four-team and failing to sink a basket - at least when the cameras were turned on.
“These guys are a lot better than me,” Obama said as he was running down the full length of the court and trying to keep pace with the Division I players, including Tyler Hansbrough, the national player of the year.
At one point, Coach Roy Williams scolded his players for not guarding the presidential candidate.
“You guys are leaving the next president of the United States wide open,” Williams joked.
Obama took a couple of shots, but neither fell through. His campaign says he did make a three-pointer after reporters were escorted off the court.

Yes, but Hillary panders to people….you called her Annie Oakley, well are you Michael Jordan?"
He may not be Michael Jordan, but at least we know that playing basketball has always been a love of his. I don think we have ever seen any video of Hillary shooting ANY type of gun at ANY time.
Quite interesting after all of the Hillary bashing now the koolaid drinkers are upset cause their little boy is getting hisself picked on!
What a laugh! As always, the older people have to keep telling the yunguns' "grow up"!
boo
Shoots but doesn't score is just like his flowery speeches. He will never go for another debate because he doesn't have the brain power to think on his feet. He also doesn't want any more of his skeletons falling out of his closet. He is afraid someone might ask about his homosexual, cocaine dealing buddy Sinclair or why the Hamas support him.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of North Carolina’s Presidential Primary finds Barack Obama leading Hillary Clinton 51% to 37%. Earlier this month, Obama led by twenty-three percentage points.
THE END IS COMING FOR CLINTON AND ABOUT TIME""""
WOW, North Carolina Gov. says YES TO HILLARY!!!!!! while Obama is out playing basketball.
You know he only is in his position in Illonois because the Republicans had scandals going into his election, so he was a shoe in. His term as senator is 1 year in, the rest of the time running for president. So experience zero!
In November, McCain will win if Hillary is chosen....
why,
Obama is lame-change boy. Nothing real, just really good with the chat about.... but when it comes to the real game.....
he shoots an air-ball in my book!
especially with Wright by his side. and its bull to think he'd not gone there anymore if Wright stayed on....
well he has! both of them together!
Hillary 08!
Hillary 08!
where is the post?
Obama supporters can not play fair
They think the ABC debate was unfair- simply because it did not have the built-in pro-Obama bias and adulation of the previous debates.
They were ok with it when Hillary was getting the insulting, hateful personal questions.
Hate always backfires, people.
CNN has continually sunk to new lows in its reporting. A fair, unbiased, informative media is a component of a democracy. Unfortunately, the American media, including CNN, has become an ego driven endless commentary of the "reporters"..
Hillary is out working and campaigning and BO is playing.....who is taking this election seriously????????
Obama please challenge Hillary in the basketball court as she challenged you to bowl with her.
While its cool to see Obama playing basketball I would much rather hear how he will help bring down gas prices, provide health care to those in need, how he plans to stimulate our economy and how he plans to bring our nation to a better standing in the world. Also, I sure would like to see our troops back home and to use that money to build our infrastructure and to help the people of America!
All the basketball, bowling, Rev. Wright stories are distractions that will cause us more chaos to come!
Go Obama!
I LOVE IT! KEEP HAVING A GOOD TIME WHILE CAMPAIGNING, IF THIS IS WHAT RELAXES YOU. IT DON'T HAVE TO BE BORING!
Time for B-Ball, no time for DEBATES??????????

I would love to see Clinton's record while in the Senate, additionaly, how she can defend herself agaist her supposed "years" of experiance. She has been in office only since 2000, and if her name was not Clinton, she would be a rich lawyer living in Chicago giving money to Obama!
Clinton has no "chuzpa" she votes with the political wind!!
Hillary is out trying to fix our problems.
Obummer is shootin' hoops.
PRIORITIES!
CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT
very nice OBAMA!
Actually, I like your game in Indiana BETTER!
At least you scored and stole the ball 2x
CNN, why do you allow negative comments about the candidates appearance? I don't understand your moderation criteria.....
How symbolic.
Like Dukais, Gore, Kerry – nice guys, but unelectable.
All the Obama supporters keep posting that they are smarter than everyone else.
I guess egotistical, boastful, cocky, arrogant narcisism is taught in Obama propaganda 101.Obama supporters can not play fair
Hey dummies he IS campaigning by playing this little game of B-Ball.. but I guess if you cannot be bothered to read a candidates position but need to have it spoon fed to you in a debate you would not understand this concept either.. idiots
Pathetic. As if this will get him votes from us gun and religion clinging folks.

It's news as much as Hillary doing a shot in a bar is news. No one cried foul then. He's campaigning; it's news.
PEOPLE. Does anyone really care whether Obama can get "nothing but net! " This is one of the most important elections in recent history, possibly ever in history. Obama is a LOSER – he can not run this country – HILLARY CAN – YES SHE CAN – and Obama better get use to it. He needs to take his hating preacher, his over priced arugula, and his electable suits and go back to Chicago – QUICKLY – VERY QUICKLY
Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaq O'Niel, have missed plenty of shots, what is your point?
